I Love You, Monster: The Blindfolded Wife x The Masked Husband

Chapter 368 Sleeping beauty


In the other car, Mr. and Mrs. Chen were talking seriously about their two big boys.

"Honey, what do you think our son will tell us?" Mrs. Chen asked and his husband who was quietly looking outside the window turned to his wife.

"I believe it may have something to do with his wife, dear." He replied and Mrs. Chen agreed.

"That’s right. Our Sei rarely comes to us to talk seriously about his life like that so it is likely that it will be about his wife. Ah... I hope he’ll announce that there’s another grandchild coming soon!! I would like to have a little adorable granddaughter!" Mrs. Chen was suddenly so excited.

Looking at her ecstatic face, Mr. Chen could only smile. Truth be told, after that war, the Chen family were on their way to ruin. The death of their only son Xi Chen devastated them since that meant the end of their family line. His wife also couldn’t accept what happened that she fell really ill and almost died.

During those dark days, Sei and Zaki suddenly appeared in their lives. The Chen family didn’t accept them out of desperation, they accepted the two because Sei actually resembled their son Xi Chen so much. His cold eyes and quiet nature and even the way he spoke were very similar. Actually, Sei could have even passed as Xi Chen’s biological big brother. Due to that, the moment Mrs. Chen saw the teenager Sei, she started to see him as her very own son. Sei and Zaki saved her from death’s door just by simply existing. And as time went by she treated them as her own children, until eventually, all of them turned into a real family.

Their family actually didn’t mind about the so called bloodline anymore. What was important to them was the fact that they were a family whose bonds were even closer than some families bound by blood. They were happy to have the two in their lives and they considered them as one of their family’s greatest blessings.

"Anyway, honey. How about our Zaki? For some reason, I can’t stop worrying about him more than Sei now. I believe that he might really want to be with Hinari but, why does he seem to be running away from her? I don’t know what that child is thinking but I’m getting really worried. I think we should do something now because i’m really afraid that my Hinari might give up on him. It’s already been five years that she’s waiting for him you know?"

"Okay, I will try to talk to him about his plans."

"Mm. I will also try to think of something else. I can’t let those two separate ways as long as i live. Besides, it’s time for him to give us a grandchild as well."

"I understand your excitement, but don’t rush honey. You know Zaki is not like Sei. That child doesn’t share his feelings, even though he seems to be the more talkative one, he tends to keep everything to himself, so don’t nag him too much."

"Yes, I know."

...

Meanwhile, Hinari was busy telling Zaki her opinions about the recent event.

"My beauty, I can’t believe that the Zhao family would resort to taking an action like that. How desperate must they be? Can’t they tell that your brother, the great, doesn’t want anything to do with them? How many times must they be rejected for them to understand?! Ugh, it makes me so mad..."

Hinari suddenly stopped talking as something landed on her shoulder. She turned to look at it and was surprised to see Zaki’s head on her shoulder. He seemed to have fallen asleep.

Puffing her cheeks at the man’s gall to fall asleep in the middle of a conversation, she poked a finger on his cheek.

"Hey, Mr normal, wake up. I wasn’t finished talking yet. Who’s gonna listen to me if you fall asleep?" He didn’t stir so she poked his cheek again. She deliberately used his other nickname because she knew that it would usually get a reaction from him but it didn’t seem to work this time.

Really, this beauty is too much. Is he pretending to be asleep so that he doesn’t have to listen to me? Or maybe, he could have just been so bored listening to me ranting on and on that he decided to silence me by going to sleep?

Hinari was slightly offended by this but as she looked at him more closely, it seemed that he may have been tired and had truly fallen asleep. She looked at his beautiful face and she could see some signs of fatigue in them. There were lines on his usually smooth forehead and dark circles could be faintly seen under his eyes. Hinari tried to think back to see if she had seen him look this tired before but in all her memories of him, she hadn’t.

This was why she was so surprised earlier on when he asked to go and take a seat. Maybe it takes him a while to come back to being normal again from his beast mode and that was why he was acting strange...? Does switching to his beast mode use up a lot of energy or had he just not eaten properly today...?

Curious with Zaki’s seemingly sudden changes, Hinari’s eyes became gentle as she gazed at her fiancé’s beautiful face.

"Wow, beauty... do you know how defenseless you look right now? I really feel like you’re trying to seduce me." Hinari uttered softly and when the man stayed unmoving like a sleeping beauty cursed to sleep for a thousand years, Hinari couldn’t help but giggle. She didn’t know that the sleeping Zaki was actually so beautifully adorable she suddenly had the urge to take advantage of him. Well, who would stay sane when a perfect temptation was being offered like this? He is just like a forbidden fruit, ahh... so damn tempting...

"Damn it beauty... how could you be so beautiful? I just want to put you in a beautiful glass box right now like sleeping beauty and kiss you back to life. After that, you will be my princess and I will marry you." She continued with a soft voice as she kept giggling delightfully as ever when suddenly the sleeping man spoke.

"I’m... not a prin... cess." He uttered and Hinari’s eyes almost bulged out. She looked at him but the sleeping beauty didn’t seem to have awakened.

Wait... my sleeping beauty actually sleep talks?! Wwww-hh-at?!!! Seriously?!!!

Hinari was so surprised. However, when she finally calmed down, something seemed to have dawned on her as she stared at the adorable sleeping beauty.

That moment, the look in Hinari’s eyes changed. It was as if she suddenly became emotional. Her heart also started beating fast as she realized what an amazing opportunity this was. She may have found a way to find out exactly what her beauty might feel towards her. How could she pass this opportunity up?

She quickly thought about what she was about to say. Hinari then breathed in deeply and a forced smile carved on her lips.

"Uhm... beauty... I... I’m in... love with you." She whispered to him as she held her breath. But seconds passed and Zaki didn’t answer.

"I said, I’m in love with you. D-did you hear me?" she asked again and to her surprise, Zaki uttered an "Mm", causing Hinari’s heart to skip a beat.

My god! Why am I reacting like this even when my beauty was just answering me while he was asleep! Zaki... what did you do to me?!

Hinari suddenly felt so hopeless. She couldn’t believe she was blushing so intensely as if she was currently confessing to a conscious Zaki for real. She felt as if she was a teenager confessing to her crush for the first time. And this was something she experienced for the first time.

Thinking about all this and as her heart continued fluttering like crazy, Hinari could only face palm herself. Hinari, get a hold of yourself, the beauty is asleep!

The next moment, her eyes lit up again as she returned her gaze towards him. She stared at him for a long while before she bit her lip. Her heart fluttered wildly again as she opened her mouth.

"Uhm... beauty, i-it’s me, Hinari... w-what do you feel about me? D-do you like me?"
